  15.     Try Edmund Scientific (phone number for technical information
  16.  609-573-6879 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM weekdays Eastern time).  They
  17.  have a kit for $39.95 that tests for lead in paint, soil,
  18.  dinnerwear, imported toys, etc.  I haven't used it, but I've
  19.  found Edmund to be a good supplier in the past.  Other companies
  20.  probably also have the same kit, but this is the only one I know
  21.  of.  Ask for a catalog while you're at it.
